29 NOVEMBER 2024 (TORONTO, ON) – World-renowned and beloved Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli today releases the deluxe version of his new album Duets, which marks his 30th year in the music industry, and here features three additional tracks. These mesmerizing extra offerings for Christmas, featuring Shania Twain, Josh Groban and Sofia Carson, complete the career-spanning (double-disc) collection, featuring landmark duets with some of the biggest names in music.
The new single, “White Christmas” featuring Sofia Carson (which can be seen performed live on ITV’s This Morning in December) is a beautiful re-imagining of the festive favourite, exquisitely showcasing the vocals of Andrea and Sofia together.
This totally unique album includes special duets with Ed Sheeran, Céline Dion, Sarah Brightman, Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lopez, Bono, Luciano Pavarotti amongst others, alongside new superstar collaborations, freshly recorded for this record including Chris Stapleton, Gwen Stefani, Marc Anthony, Matteo Bocelli & Hans Zimmer, KAROL G and Elisa, and more.
Once asked what it was like to duet with talents with household names, Andrea Bocelli explains “To mix voices, mix the vibrations, is for me a very exciting experience, sensual and spiritual at the same time. Something intimate and deep is established between the two voices that sing a duet. We singers are in constant search of colleagues able to give life to this alchemy.”
Also in this milestone year come two films about Bocelli: a concert film called ANDREA BOCELLI 30: THE CELEBRATION, which was filmed at his star-studded Tuscany concerts earlier this year, and a documentary called Andrea Bocelli: Because I Believe, following his journey from a humble piano-bar singer to the beloved global superstar he is today.
In March 2024, Andrea Bocelli kicked off the marking of the anniversary by taking the stage at the Oscars 2024 with his son, recording artist Matteo Bocelli, wowing the star-studded Hollywood audience with a surprise performance of all-time favourite “Time To Say Goodbye,” produced and arranged especially for them by two-time Oscar-winning composer Hans Zimmer. This iconic song, originally released as “Con te partirò” and later as a duet with Sarah Brightman, launched Bocelli to international stardom almost three decades ago, and has since garnered hundreds of millions of streams.
With nearly 90 million records sold worldwide, and one of the most recognizable voices in the entertainment industry, Andrea Bocelli has sold-out arena-sized concert events and counts record-breaking live-streams. He has shared his talents at many major events including the Olympic Games, the World Cup, and Global Citizen. He has earned a Golden Globe, seven Classical BRITs and seven World Music Awards, plus a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
After gracing The Great Oak Stage at BST Hyde Park 2024 for the largest outdoor classical concert of this century, Bocelli headlined ANDREA BOCELLI 30: THE CELEBRATION, a three-day event in July at the Teatro del Silenzio (Theater of Silence) in Lajatico, Tuscany. This spectacular concert series showcased Bocelli’s extensive repertoire alongside captivating duets with fellow performers, creating an unforgettable experience for all who attended.
The event itself boasted a star-studded lineup, including Ed Sheeran, Shania Twain, Jon Batiste, Russell Crowe, Brian May, Eros Ramazzotti, Elisa, Johnny Depp, Laura Pausini, Will Smith, Zucchero, Sofia Vergara, Matteo Bocelli, Virginia Bocelli, Lang Lang and many more.
Today’s new album, Duets, further proves that after 30 years, Andrea Bocelli continues to surprise and enchant his fans. His ongoing legacy and timeless voice have never stopped being respected by the most-acclaimed artists of each generation, highlighting his lasting influence and artistry.
